Coordinator, Community Engagement

ABOUT US

At Trillium Health Partners Foundation, we’re helping build a new kind of health care for one of Canada’s fastest-growing and most diverse communities.

We raise funds to support the highest-priority needs of Trillium Health Partners, one of the largest community-based hospital systems in Canada, and help advance better care for the communities it serves. Made up of The Credit Valley Hospital, the Mississauga Hospital and the Queensway Health Centre, Trillium Health Partners cares for the people of Mississauga, West Toronto and surrounding communities. It is a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Toronto, an associate member of the Toronto Academic Health Science Network, and a proud member of Mississauga Health (Ontario Health Team).

This is an exciting time to join our team. Through Built for Us, our $1 billion fundraising campaign, we’re helping deliver faster care, bring more specialized care closer to home and build a health system around the people who rely on it. The campaign will support the future home of The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, set to become Canada’s largest hospital; the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, Ontario’s first hospital dedicated to women’s and children’s health; and the redevelopment of The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre.

Our work is ambitious and so is our team. Together, we have an opportunity to help transform health care for generations to come.

Join us and help build the future of health care, built for all of us.
